Painted beehive panels are a unique part of Slovenian folk art, which are found nowhere else in the world. They are paintings on the front panels of beehives, especially traditional Carniolan kranjič hives, with various images showing the richness of the folk imagination and way of thinking of the rural population in the 18th and 19th centuries. From the 18th and first decades of the 19th century, we know mostly religious motifs of painted beehive frontal panel, of which Mary, as the universal patroness, is most often depicted.
